2008 ARSC Conference Recordings

List of Conference Recordings Available on CD

ARSC is pleased to make the audio recordings of its 2008 conference freely available online in lieu of the copies on CD-R we've offered for sale in previous years. For those of you joined us in Palo Alto, we hope you'll enjoy this chance to relive the memories and to catch up on the sessions you missed. And for those who have yet to attend an ARSC conference, here's a unique opportunity to find out what we're like.

To listen to a 128 kbps mono audio stream, click on the m3u link.
To access a sound file directly (e.g., to download for offline listening), use the mp3 link.
In addition to the audio from each session, supplementary material furnished by presenters, such as PowerPoints, will be made available here as it is received (please send any such submissions to Patrick Feaster).
